Your thoughts? > Victor I'm thinking more of support. For example we dump all our databases nightly and back them up using a shell script. If we were doing it on a table basis, the presence of '$' might cause issues. Your open source will live on a system, not in isolation, that's what I am concerned about. However, if it makes your job much easier in python then go for it. In, perl at least we can work around it.
